application mea october 1s, 192e. serial no. 141,748.

M invention relates to vanity cases of the hinged ty and has for its essential objects the e ective, compact, and moonspicuous housin of a lip stickholder; and security, accessi ility, inexpenslveness, and facility of operation of the same..

To the enumerated ends essentially my invention consists in such parts and in suc combinations of parts as fall within the scope of the appended clalms.

,In the accompanying drawings wh1ch form a part of this specification-- Figure 1 is 'a perspective view of my vanity case closed,

Figures 2 and 3, sectlons o f the same lon lines 2-.2 and 3--3 respectively of Figure 1 Figure 4, a perspective view of my case open, l

Figure 5, a similar viewvof the holder withdrawn from the case, and

Figure 6, a detail view of the 11p stick carrier.

Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.

In detail my device includes two movable sections represented in a general wagoby and 11. The section 10 comprises a dy 13 ripheral side flange 14. Integral with the tter or soldered thereto is a frame 16 comprising sides 17 and a cross piece or partition 18, all U shaped in cross section and formed of thin metal. Openings 19 in the frame form pockets for cosmetic compacts 20.

The section 11, which in this instance,

forms a cover, comprises a body 22 and a peripheral flange 23 ada ted to rest against the ilan e 14. The bo ies 13 andl 22 are provide with int'ral hinge sleeves 25 and 26 respectively. e ends of the flange 23 are cut away at their ends to form curved recesses 27 to permit movement of the flange over the sleeves 25. In the present instance a mirror 29 is retained against the body 22 of the section 11' by means of a flat marginal retaining plate 30 provided with a cavity 31 to permit passage therethrough of a post 33 fixed to flange 23 having a round head 34 upon its end. The post and ball constitute the entrant member of a catch whose socket is a hole36 in the frame I6 provided with marginal resilient tongues 37 to engage the hea Upon the flanges of the sectlons 10 and drical tubular body 48 extending into the pintle, and having fast upon an extended portion thereof a cap or head exterior of the wings. The body has a bayonet slot comprising a longitudinal portion 52, and a shorter transverse portion 53 adjacent'the cap 50. Slidable in the holder 47 is a cup 55 comprising longitudinal spring fingers 56 having upon its side a knob 57. extending through the bayonet slot. A lip stick 59 has one end embraced by the fingers in the cup. In Figure 5 the stick is shown advanced beyond the body 48 ready for use. In Figure 2 the former is shown retracted and locked by the knob 57 in the portion 23 of the slot. Oneof the sleeves 25 `is provided in its outer end with a longitudinally disposed notch or cavity 61 adapted to loosely receive the knob when the holder 474 is fully inserted in the pintle 42 with the knob in locked position. The notch 61 extends a sulicient distance to permit the knob 57, when located therein, to be prevented from escape therefrom by the flange 23 when the sections 10 and 11 are closed together, because in such position said flange closes the end of the notch? 61.

To operate my device the sections are by manual action on the lugs 40 pulled a art with such force as to disengage the catc 35 from the socket 36. The wings being now vdist-ended in some such position as shown in Figure 4 the head 50 of the holder 47 is grasped and pulled longitudinall outwardly and away from the pintle. A r this the knob 56 is pushed from the slot ortion 53 and along slot portion 52 a s cient .distance to expose the stick 59 for use.

1. In a vanity case, a tively movable sections, hinge sleeves upon the sections, a hollow pintle enclosed by the sleeves, a holder slidabl mounted in the pintle, and a lip stick in t e holder. l

2. In a vanity case, two relatively movable plurality of relasections, hinge sleeves upon the sections, a hollow pintle fast to a s eeve of one section and loose in a sleeve of the other secto'na holder slidably mounted in the pintle, and a lip stick in the holder.

, 3. In a vanity case, a plurality of relatively movable sections, hinge sleeves upon the sections, a hollow pintle fast in a sleeve of one section and loose in a sleeve of the other section, a closure head upon one end of ,the pintle, a tubular holder slidably mounted in the intle, a closure head upon one end ofthe holder adjacent the second end of the pintle, and a lip stick in the holder. l 4. In a vanity case, a plurality of sections, hinge sleeves upon thesections, one of said sleeves being rovided withv a. notch, u. hollow pintle fast 1n a sleeve of one section and loose in a. sleeve of the other section, a, tubular holder slidably mounted in the ,5. IIn a vanity case, two sections comprisf ing bodies and peri heml sideilanges lun sleeves integral'wit theI bodies, one df said sleeves being provided adjacent one of the flanges with `an oblong notch, ahollow pintle' fwithin the sleevesla tubular holder slidably mounted in t e pintle provided with a bayonet slot near yits end, a cup slidably mounted in the holder, a. lip stick in the cup, and a knob fast to the cup extending v through the slot and. notch and enclosed by the flanges.

In testimony. whereof I have amxed myy signature.
